    Can any of these be used online with Woolworths gift card portal?

      Woolworths gift card portal

      It’s in the list provided in the link above

      • yasui on 13/08/2024 - 22:22

        In the link above, there is Woolworths Group Gift Card Portal 5399. 5399 isn't listed in the OP's description. It doesn't look like you can use it.

    David Jones has extra 30% off selected categories (women, men and kids) as part of the Afterpay Day promo - great to combine the little bonus from Amazon

    Looks like they are same as the recent Cashrewards giftcards, just a rebrand of names from ACTIV
    Both managed by blackhawk network

    Shame we can't use Amazon GC to buy GC's anymore!

    Any chance of using the category choice supermarket at Coles to buy a Mastercard gift card ?@WookieMonster

      I did that last night

      • linkindan on 13/08/2024 - 08:47

        Can those Mastercards still be used to buy Woolworths gift cards on the everyday rewards or RACV portal?

        • WookieMonster on 13/08/2024 - 09:13
          +6

          You cannot use any prepaid gift cards to purchase gift cards on the Everyday Rewards app, as the Everyday Rewards app rejects payment cards with no 3-D Secure support.

          You cannot use Coles Mastercard gift cards directly on the Woolworths Group gift card portal (e.g. RACV portal), because Woolworths has blocked them as a payment method. However, if you link your Coles Mastercard gift card to PayPal, you should be okay to use PayPal on the Woolworths Group gift card portal checkout (and using Coles Mastercard gift cards as the funding source).

            @WookieMonster: That’s about what I thought, cheers

            Still works out ahead to buy prepaid through Amazon then Coles MC and just use that at Woolies for groceries than to just use the RACV portal so I might as well try

          • linkindan on 13/08/2024 - 10:42

            @WookieMonster: So what’s the split payment options like if someone forgot the $5 activation fee aha

            • WookieMonster on 13/08/2024 - 11:11
              +1

              @linkindan: At Coles, I assume?

              • If you go to a self checkout, the only way to do split payments is to insert the exact amount of cash you want to spend, then pay the remaining amount owed using one payment card. Do not press the Mixed Payments button, as that will cause an error to pop up (and require a staff member to clear the error for you).

              • If you go to a standard checkout, the checkout will allow split payments between multiple payment cards. Whether the staff member is happy to do this (or knows how to do this) is a different question!

              • linkindan on 13/08/2024 - 11:32

                @WookieMonster: So there is still a loophole on self serve, excellent aha

                PS - where do you get cash from? aha

              • strikerzebra on 13/08/2024 - 11:42

                @WookieMonster: @WookieMonster Can these cards be used to order for Cole’s online pick up and deliveries , if a refund needs to go back onto the card does that work or cause issues ?

                @WookieMonster: You absolute (profanity) legend - worked with no issue whatsoever

                +1

                @WookieMonster: For self checkout: do you just press cash first to insert exact cash amount, then POS will prompt for next payment method?

                • WookieMonster on 13/08/2024 - 12:35
                  +3

                  @Craze: If you select cash and insert cash, there should be an option to go back to the payment screen after you have finished doing this.

                  Alternatively, on the payment screen (where you choose cash, card, gift card or mixed payments), just insert the cash without pressing anything. Then you should be able to go back to the payment screen when you have finished inserting cash.

      • donman92 on 13/08/2024 - 09:02

        Hopefully I can buy the vanilla master/visa cards at woolies with the grocery gift card and get the x10 points

        • WookieMonster on 13/08/2024 - 09:19
          +3

          You probably cannot do that.

          In the past couple of months, Woolworths automatically rejected ShopBack Supermarket Visa gift cards as a payment method when other people have tried to purchase Vanilla Mastercard gift cards or Vanilla Visa gift cards. ShopBack Supermarket Visa gift cards and Category Choice Groceries gift cards are both functionally Activ Visa gift cards and appear to Woolworths as identical cards, so I would expect Category Choice Groceries gift cards to be automatically rejected as well.

          This table may be of interest to you.

        • rokufan on 13/08/2024 - 14:15

          I can't find a current vanilla master/visa cards deal at woolies. Are you talking about a possible future deal?

      • Poor Ass on 13/08/2024 - 10:18

        loophole pending hahaha

      • digitalane on 13/08/2024 - 11:50

        So you can buy a $100 card from Amazon for $96, then use it to get a $100 Mastercard gift card (and pay the $5 some other way). $101 for $100 and 2000 flybuys?

        • RTY on 13/08/2024 - 11:52
          +2

          Amazon has variable amount between $5 to $500, you can just buy $105?

        • WookieMonster on 13/08/2024 - 11:55
          +3

          There is nothing stopping you from buying a $105 Category Choice gift card (unless your payment card only has $96 on it). Amazon AU allows you to select any amount as the face value between $5 and $500, so if you want a $105.69 Category Choice gift card, you can do that.

          In other words:

          • You will spend $100.80 on Amazon AU and get a $105 gift card.
          • You can use that $105 gift card at Coles to purchase a $100 Coles Mastercard gift card. (No need to mess around with split payments in this scenario, which saves a lot of hassle.)
          • You will end up with a $100 Coles Mastercard gift card and 2,105 Flybuys points.
  • jimwh on 13/08/2024 - 12:00

    Can you use Coles master gift card to buy these gift cards on Amazon?

    • WookieMonster on 13/08/2024 - 12:24

      I did that this morning.

      It took 20 minutes for the Category Choice gift card to be emailed to me.

      • jimwh on 13/08/2024 - 12:29
        -1

        Pay with Coles MC directly or using PayPal?

      • CheapDeals on 13/08/2024 - 14:51

        If I purchase the Category Choice Groceries, could I then use it to purchase the TCN Her, Him cards at Woolies?

        • WookieMonster on 13/08/2024 - 15:02

          It should be fine, as I have not heard anyone say it is blocked.

  • T-man on 13/08/2024 - 13:07

    Can the Category Choice Health & Wellness card be used at Chemist Warehouse and Priceline? Has anyone tried?

    • littlesoldier on 13/08/2024 - 13:29

      not tried but according to the mcc list https://www.ozbargain.com.au/wiki/mcc_list
      Both priceline and chemist warehouse are recorded as MCC 5912 Pharmacies
      So Category Choice Health & Wellness card should work

      *note: it has been reported that payment in chemist warehouse website via paypal will be treated as 5999, which will not work with Category Choice Health & Wellness card

      • truetypezk on 13/08/2024 - 15:16

        If you use the payment processor on the website it is 5912. Otherwise you can always go in-store to buy a store gift card with it.

    • AzzaD on 14/08/2024 - 08:40

      Can confirm Health and Wellness works at Chemist Warehouse I've tried previously ☺️

  • rokufan on 13/08/2024 - 14:16

    Has anyone used the Tradie gift card at Bunnings online?

    • Bard on 13/08/2024 - 21:43
      +1

      Yeah it worked for me, but the value of the single visa gift card you get needs to cover the cost of the whole transaction (i.e. can't mix and match multiple payment methods)

  • PVS7 on 13/08/2024 - 16:16

    Thanks OP. Got $500 groceries card, added to Samsung Wallet and bought 5 $100 Coles Mastercards currently on 2000 Flybuys Points offer.

    • test8888 on 13/08/2024 - 18:22

    • littlesoldier on 13/08/2024 - 19:31

      Lucky that you still able to find $100 stocks
      It has been ran out for all the coles nearby where I live

    • digitalane on 13/08/2024 - 20:09

      $480 for $500 and 10k flybuys. Pretty good deal!

      • test8888 on 13/08/2024 - 23:57

        should be 525-20 +10k

  • Rodo on 13/08/2024 - 22:29

    Has this expired already or am I doing something wrong? When I go to pay, at the checkout the amount to pay does not include the 4% discount.

    Is the groceries card can use to buy Coles prepaid MasterCard on their gift card store website?

    • Craze on 14/08/2024 - 10:53

      Yes, confirmed by @WookieMonster above. I can confirm myself as well that it works 😊

      • aiyoyo on 14/08/2024 - 10:55

        Thank you.

      • test8888 on 14/08/2024 - 11:58

        "yes" is 50% correct, it can use to buy coles GC in store
        but
        "NO" can't use at coles giftcard website
